Paint Night Creation

Last night Aubrey had some girls over for dinner and a Paint Night. We had so much fun!!

I wanted to be extra creative and deep so instead of a painting I created a mixed-media work of art! I've been really into birds lately so I wanted to use that as my theme. Let me know what you think!!

Kathy and Cankles

Kathy - I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE Kathy Griffin's "My life on the D-list!" She makes me laugh so hard! I wouldn't mind it if she kept her humor a little more PG but regardless I think she is hilarious! If you don't watch her show, you should! I love people who don't take themselves TOO seriously.

As for Cankles...July is Cankle Awareness Month at Gold's Gym. Yes, you heard me correctly! As if there weren't current issues more pressing to be aware of! Forget the economy, if you have cankles you have bigger problems to worry about!

What is a cankle you might ask? Well according to the web, a Cankle is:

* An obese or otherwise swollen ankle that blends into the calf without clear demarcation.

Or better yet, how about I provide you with a picture!

Oh what will they think of next!?!

Oh Poppycock!

Some of you are a little confused about my blog name and it's origins....here's a little lesson on the word poppycock in case you've never heard of it.

Poppycock - Anglicized form of the Dutch pappekak- is an interjection meaning "nonsense" or "balderdash".

Interjection - a part of speech that usually has no grammatical connection with the rest of the sentence and simply expresses emotion on the part of the speaker

It's really just an expression, "Oh Poppycock!" that you can use when something is untrue, absurd, or silly. It's actually quite fun to say and I would encourage you all to find excuses to shout it from the rooftops!

A poppy is also a flower....

Pop-y is something that jumps out at you...

Cox is my last name....

Inc. makes everything seem more official...

Thus: Poppy Cox Inc. was born!

Here's purse number two that I whipped up last night...if you can see the safety pins, please disregard! The picture was taken before I had finished hand sewing the sides. It is NOT part of the purse design.

Greetings

Welcome to Poppy Cox Inc. !!

When B+M lost it's direction a little, Brett suggested that I start a seperate blog for myself. What a great idea! Now I can write about whatever I want!! : )

So - I can't tell you what this blog will or will not be about. Even I don't know! But keep reading, I'll do my best to keep you entertained!

First off - I am tring to start selling handmade purses...so spread the word to friends and family! Here's the one I made this weekend. I'm still in the learning process but I hope to make many many more. And I hope that people think they are cute and want to buy them! I'll post more pictures once I have other purses....
